This weekend, after 22 days of fierce competition, the 113th edition of the Tour de France will come to a close in the heart of Paris. And while there's still some suspense about a potential podium ranking for the Frenchman Paul Seixas, one thing is for sure: this day promises quite a few challenges for Parisians who wish to get around all day Sunday, especially due to the closure of no less than 15 metro stations!
A Must-See Stage
A hefty 130 km awaits our riders this Sunday. The 184 participants will set off from Thoiry, in the Yvelines, to reach the most beautiful avenue in the world, passing through aTriple ascent of the Butte Montmartre, especially on the Rue Lepic, which has become a must-see since the cycling events during the Paris 2024 Olympics. A particularly festive atmosphere is expected to take over the neighborhood, and the whole capital will likely be buzzing with both avid fans and casual Parisians coming to cheer on the athletes. Finally, let’s hope that the spirits stay high despite the travel challenges.
